PAUL YOUNG : Love of the Common People

Paul Young nous a fait rêver avec sa superbe voix douce. Malheureusement, Il n’a jamais su s’imposer dans les Hits parade. Je pense que la raison principale et qu’il était un chanteur interprète.

Paul Young a commencé sa carrière avec des reprises " Wherever I lay My Hat " de Marvin Gaye, a été un beau succès.
" Everytime you go away " était aussi une reprise mais elle a été aussi son titre le plus connu.

Ses meilleurs titres sont :

Come back and stay
Everytime you go away
Love of the common people
Senza una donna (avec Zucchero)
Wherever I lay my hat

Je ne sais pas pour qu’elle raison, mais "Love of the common people" est une chanson qui m’a spécialement marqué.
De style plutôt pop, à l’époque elle n’a pas été produite en vidéo clip. Je fermais les yeux, je l’écoutais et je voyais toute la scène se dérouler devant moi.

L’eau qui fuyait à travers le toit, les gouttelettes d’eau qui tombaient dans un Mug de lait.
La petite fille qui pleurait …..

Ecoutez cette chanson, fermez vos yeux et regardez le clip.

Love of the common people

Living on free feed tickets,
Water in the milk from a hole in the roof
Where the rain came through.
What can you do?
Tears from your little sister,
Crying 'cause she doesn't have a dress without a patch
For the party to go.
But you she'll get by

'Cause she's living in the love of the common people,
Smile's from the heart of a family man.
Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to,
Mama's gonna love you just as much as she can
And she can.

It's a good thing you don't have a busfare,
It would fall thru' the hole in your pocket and you'd lose it
In the snow on the ground.
You got to walk into town to find a job.
Tryin' to keep your hands warm
When the hole in your shoe lets the snow come thru'
And chills you to the bone.
Now you'd better go home where it's warm,

Where you can live in a love of the common people,
Smile from the heart of a family man.
Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to,
Mama's gonna love you just as much as she can
And she can.

Living on a dream ain't easy
But the closest the knit the tighter the fit
And the chills stay away.
You take 'em in stride for family pride.
You know that faith is in your foundation
And with a whole lot of love and a warm conversation
But don't forget to pray.
Making it strong were you belong

And we're living in the love of the common people,
Smile's from the heart of a family man.
Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to,
Mama's gonna love you just as much as she can
And she can.
